Freeland torpedoed her own party as part of a temper tantrum over the PM exercising his right to shuffle cabinet.
Not someone Canadians want in a Prime Minister.
I remember reading something that said ‘if a headline ends with a question mark, the answer to that question is almost always no’
Following that rule, This is the biggest no that has ever occurred.
If Trudeau resigns, then I absolutely support Freeland leading the Liberals as it will be hilarious watching her getting crushed by Pierre and the Conservatives. There is absolutely no scenario where Freeland is better choice than Trudeau at leading the party. Now don’t get me wrong I don’t think Trudeau has a chance either, but its funny as hell seeing Freeland think she has a shot.
In short, no, she cannot. Her taking on the Kim Campbell role would be a waste of potential. The best thing the Liberals can do now is call an election and spend the next 4 years rebuilding.
Noone can save the Liberals, none of the top contenders should seek the position if Trudeau bails. They should let some mid contender take the leadership and take the beating i the next election. Then the top contenders can jump to rebuild afterwards.
